c# - Iterate object list and get element property with a string -

i looking solution solve problem have.

i got object:

- person (string id, string firstname, string lastname)

i got list couple persons

- list<person> persons;

what goal is:

1. iterate through list 2. property value element string named property

for example:

i want know id of person in list:

i can this:

foreach(person p in persons) {     string personid = p.id; }

but want this:

foreach(person p in persons) {     string personid = p. + "id"; }

i want append string "id" id of element, instead of calling p.id.

is possible? need solution this, , have spent lot of time couldn't find solution on internet.

you use reflection value of property name:

foreach (person p in persons) {     var personid = typeof(person).getproperty("id").getvalue(p, null) string; }

of course needs error handling , null checks, gist :)
